Seasonal work can be found in many places again this holiday season, so the Better Business Bureau says the time to get in your application is now. If you are looking for extra work this holiday season, a BBB Investigator says that while holiday jobs are usually temporary, many retailers end up hiring some holiday workers permanently.

But you should remember as a seasonal employee, you can expect to work long, sometimes inconvenient hours, possibly including Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve. Investigator Don O’Brien tells The Big Z you might want to start your job search at places you shop.

If this is the second job in addition to your day job, he says you be upfront and clear with your new employer about your available hours. And beware of classified ads for mystery shopper jobs: These are often scams that steal money from victims or use their personal information to commit fraud.
